Re: Glasgow 16th September ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker <106314.1470@compuserve.com> Subject: Brilliant Brixton Show!!!!!!!!!!! Last night I saw Soundgarden and went to heaven!!!! This was only my second time. The first time, at Reading last year, I'd had to suffer loads of lesser bands -screechy Babes in Toyland, White Zombie without all the stage stuff (what's the point?) and was pretty tired by the time SG came on stage. And they were - okay. This summer I flew out of Seattle THE DAY BEFORE the Showbox gig!!! So I was excited about Brixton but also hoping they'd be a bit more enthusiastic than at Reading. Luckily I had Sommsters' postings from the Glasgow and Wolverhampton gigs to keep my hopes up! Moby sounded damn good from the bar ( I wasn''t being 'cool' and London-ish I was with friends who like Soundgarden, but weren't going to push themselves to the front as soon as we got there.) Anyway, when we finally went in, I left them to it and went as near the stage as I could. It's standing room only downstairs at Brixton and I managed to get a place directly in front of Chris and about a third of the way back. It seemed like an age standing there watching the roadies check the equipment. I saw the CC lookalike. Hmmm. Similar, but not really IMHO. I kept one eye on the door at the back of the stage and was suddenly rewarded with the sight of Matt talking to the crew! He was dressed in a blue sleeveless tee shirt and blue shorts. Lots of others saw him cos they started cheering. The lights finally dimmed at 9.20 pm and the crowd went wild! There they were standing in fornt of us!!!! I can't remember the order of the songs except Spoonman was first. Chris was really into it and moved around, swinging his guitar. Then they went into Searching with my Good Eye Closed. After that (in no particular order.. Pretty Noose Ty Cobb Blow up the outside world Burden in my hand Let me drown My wave Black Hole Sun (just Chris) Kickstand mailman Fell on black days An unkind Outshined Bootcamp Rusty cage Drawing flies Slaves and bulldozers encores - Never the machine and Jesus Christ pose They were all awesome - Chris did some fantastic screams - no voice problems at all. I was so pleased they played Slaves - it's so great live. Chris did look thinner, but not ill or anything. I think he's just not working out or something. My friend Di (a Eurythmics fan really!) thought he had a pretty sexy body even so. He wore a plain grey tight tee shirt - and no he didn't take it off - and black jeans. No rings. One pendant type thing. He'd had his hair cut a bit. Kim had a teeshsirt on with a logo I couldn't decipher. And black jeans. Matt was in blue as I said. Ben in black with a white tee underneath. Chris looked really into it all the way through. He didn't say a lot, except to tell some joke about him fucking Prince Charles (oh no, don't start the gay rumours again!) and the punchline was osmething about British beef. It fell a bit flat because I don't think people could hear what he said. I remember him saying something like 'imagine me naked fucking...' andI went off into my own little dream world! He asked us if they were loud enough, and of course we all shouted back NO! Kim looked pretty happy - and really rocked out in the BMF songs. I swear he even jumped about a bit! Matt was drumming like crazy. Ben just played. I think I saw him smile once - sort of, reluctantly, but he didn't seem to get into it. He did move around a bit towards the end, but he wasn't manic. Maybe tour burn out has set in already! But I was checking out Chris mostly - when I wasn't trying to keep on my feet! I guess I am too old and boring now to stand near the front. Moshing is okay, but some guys really slammed into people in a dangerous way. The worst offenders all wore Nirvana tee shirts! My friends stooed further back and still had a great view - without getting knocked over - so maybe next time I see them at Brixton (great venue) I'll keep away from the moshpit. I say I'm old (well, 38 if you must know) but it was reassuring to see a lot of the audience were mid to late twenties and above. At the risk of getting flamed by all you teenage sommsters (who of course I am excluding) I think SG are too deep for a lot of kids. Yeah you can just rock out to them, but then you miss a lot of what they're about. I think that's about it. got to go to work now (as if I'll acutally be able to concentrate!) Byeee Deborah ------------------------------ From: ThNrthFace@aol.com Subject: Re: please get me off i am still waiting Hello everyone, Yes, you can rest assured that the List Thug is going to have a little fun with this bastard. I've already told him what he can do with his himself, his hand, and a few abstract objects that he may have lying about. If everyone on the list sends him 5 CC emails telling him to go to hell, or what have you, he will have 3,000 messages in his little mailbox there. (The List Thug can add too! What will he think of next!!!) If I'm not mistaken, Michael Bortnik told me personally that he wishes to be signed up to every mailing list that we know of, and a few that we don't. So, give the guy a hand, and sign him up. He's done so much for us, let's give a little back. I'm a charitable guy, I am more than willing to spend an hour or two to help him on his quest to find the perfect mailing list. After all, he's heard of Mudhoney! (I often wonder who HASN'T heard of Mudhoney) So, I emplore each and every one of you to put forth your most heartfelt efforts in searching both far and wide for mailing lists to sign this fuckhead up on. I think he especially would like to be signed up to any of the following mailing lists: Bush, Silverchair, Oasis, Candlebox (I threw that in there for good measure), Better Than Ezra, and Paula Abdul (another treat). And maybe Green Day and Rancid too, if we can find any. I am also aware that Michael is going to be castrated sometime in the near future. Yes, it's true. Someone has to protect the world from such ignorance. As we all know, stupid people shouldn't breed, because ignorance breeds ignorance. And there are enough stupid people in the world to give me a headache. (Thank god for Hydrocodone) Well, I'm off to do my part, it's up to each and every one of you now to do your part, make me proud!!!

I started the night by crashing the car (not my fault you understand =) on the way to the train station I was not popular! When I got to Brixton the first thing I did was swap my upstairs tickets for downstairs with a tout - 10quid well spent! When we (me and my little bro) got into the venue, first thing we did was get the obligitory t-shirt (I'm still waiting for my SOMMS t-shirt Nm if your still listening!) at which point we heard the openers start (bloody early!). Eleven were OK - not brilliant but they had a couple or three good songs whilst the rest were below average. They played for about half an hour (I think) and went off to muted applause. Moby were farily good, playing very fast, short thrashy punk indispersed with the odd slower song, a couple of which were excellent. I think they deserve an entry into the Guiness Book of Records for the fastest cover of Sabath's Paranoid ever heard! Sg were absolutely amazing. I was worried that they wouldn't live up to my expectations but instead they managed to surpass them! I can't remember the set list (It was long) but it went something like: Spoonman Drown Me In You another song? Pretty Noose BIMH BHS Ty Cobb FoBD Doors song? (I didn't recognise it as bootcamp) Bootcamp BUTOW Drawing Flies Never The Machine Forever Outshined Encore: Bad joke involving Prince Charles & mad cows disease (Chris really ought to stick to singing!) song I can't remember JCP!!! I'm fairly sure there were a couple more songs and I would be amazed if I got the order right but it was something like above. I was at the front throughout the entire set, in front of Chris & Ben - I came out of the venue absoutely soaked in sweat and completely dehydrated - well worth it!!! The only things that detracted from the set was Chris' bad joke and the sound quality - there were several times when there was really bad feedback and I saw Matt signaling to the sound desk a couple times. Well, I've now fulfilled one of my big ambitions as well as I could have hoped to - hopefully I'll get another chance to see them next year! This is Andrew Sharp reporting from London for the SOMMS mailing list - good night!

The point at which I entered the story has her sitting at her work desk (works at advertising agency), nursing a hangover. In walks some guy, slaps a set of headphones on her head, causing her tortured brain to do somersaults, and says "I'm reviewing the latest Soundgarden. What do you think?" Well, what do you guys think? Is this kind of exposure a good or bad thing? Does it go towards providing overdue recognition, or towards trivialization and exploitation?

I have been on the list for a while but have never written to it. I felt that since I could not get tickets to the Roseland shows, I would try to get tickets for the Patriot Center. If anyone else out there hears any info on tickets, you can email me at:rpalmer@wam.umd.edu Other than that, I have been totally enamored with SG since discovering them about a year and half ago. Cornell and co. are really something special as far as i am concerned. In fact, I have just put together a band and I hope to convince the other guys to jam on some SG covers (although they would do no justice). If anyone wants to talk SG or about their bands, they can e-mail privately as well. I saw SG this summer at Lollapalooza and was very impressed (especially SearchingWMGEC). I wish I could see them at Roseland, cause I saw Rage Against the Machine there in August and would love the close contact with the bandd! Anyway, later all!

Teleios malakas!_this means 'completely or perfect asshole' in greek_ @What the hell is 'waiting for the sun' ? I know nothing about that! Any help appreciated! @I agree with all the reviews for the recent concerts. Brixton Academy is great but imagine them play at London Astoria 2 !!! This cannot happen of cource, but all I am trying to say is that in there is good communication with a band in a small venue(...hmmm...and stage diving). @I cannot remember if they played 'face pollution' (briliant) and/or 'never the machine forever' ; and that is because they did played them 2 or 3 times each, for the soundcheck. I am really confused. Help! @Ben must be the punk-iest in the band. Yesterday, he was showing his middle finger to the crowd... Has he ever given any interviews? @As far as non-lp tracks are concearned 'karaoke' and 'bleed together' are great! @Bye! ------------------------------ From: SkyVista96@aol.com Subject: Sg & Agriculrure Everyone- I have a sort of assignment for ya' (it's a fun one though). I'm in FFA, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to be a farmer and I'm not a hick. Anyway, today during class, I was being forced to listen to Hank Williams tapes or something like that (one of the songs was "'cause you're wanted by the police and my wife thinks you're dead"). I offered to go get one of my SG tapes from my car, but of course I was denied. But then at the end of class my teacher says, "bring one of those tapes on Monday and we'll listen to ONE of the songs." YES! SG in class. Then he says that he kind of likes those Smashing Pumpkins. I bust out laughing. This man is about the countryest guy I've ever seen. He went to Texas A&M, and he's a true aggie. All those aggie jokes would apply to him. I'm thinking I need to let him listen to some GOOD music. So now I'm trying to think of ONE SG song that people who are usually country freaks would actually listen to the whole way through. I think something more recent 'cause I don't want anything to different 'cause I don't think they'd like it. I'm really having difficulty deciding on one because if I choose one that they don't like, I'm gonna be stuck listening to Sunny 95 (radio station- guess what kind of music they play). I talked to some people in my last class that listen to this station, and they were leaning toward Fell On Black Days. So to summarize this- I need a song that will get them interested without scaring them off. I dunno. Help!

(or at least listmembers whose emails arent in stasis) another info nugget that may be useful to some of you: :-) >The "Dusty (Moby remix)" will be used as the B-side to the UK "Blow Up the >Outside World" single to be released on Oct 21. Ok, am I a glutton for punishment? Will I preorder the BuTOW from IGG after everything that happened with the BiMH order? Have I recieved my copy of BiMH yet? Well the answer to the last one is no. But, hopefully it should be here by Tuesday. Also, I just saw a boot vid of SG - 03/17/90, St. Patrick's Day at LaMour in Brooklyn, NY. I'm curious is that club still in business?

One of my non-Soundgarden friends wrote to me: <---wait, I have NO SG friends, except for you guys! << Oh..before I forget, at the gymnastics show tonight, one of the gymnasts, Kip Simons, did his rings routine to Soundgarden. I think Gary was the only one in the place who knew that. >> See? My friends take good care of me! :-) While I'm here, a couple of little bull shit SG ditties: 1) I caught the tail-end of some show on MTV, hosted by Paul Rodriguez. He was at an outdoor restaurant, and four waiters were standing at a table in the background. He points over to them and says "and those guys over there, that's Soundgarden". Hardy har har...... 2) They FINALLY played BUTOW on the radio today, after only two weeks of my requesting it every day. You have to understand, this station DOES NOT stray from their set play lists. Only officially released singles. Argh! So today is a GOOD day!!! BTW, anyone here like John Tesh? Your mother or father maybe? Your little brother perhaps? I have a new John Tesh mouse pad, whoever may want it (???), let me know. Could make a good coaster? Bird cage liner? Vampire deterrent? Muchos grassy-ass. "We're Frowngarden.
